JJPandy's reply:  
I really can't see Dumbledore treating Harry like a child now that he 
has revealed the prophecy to him.  
And while Harry has been "moody and angry", let's face it: Harry has 
an enormous amount of emotional baggage to work out over the summer: 
the death of Sirius, Dumbledore's delay in telling him about the 
prophecy, and of course, the interpretation of the prophecy and the 
possible outcome.  I am really hoping that Lupin steps up to be 
Harry's new father-figure, or at least a big brother to Harry because 
I don't want Harry to feel abandoned this summer.
